RE: 1st gear???
I think its a safety thing w the syncros, if you rev it up a bit you shoul be able to pop it back into first
definately don't try to force it....mine does the same thing, like when I am coming to a stop sign. the car wont go into first until I come to a just about complete stop (unless I rev it up a bit while nudging it in)
sounds normal to me, or maybe we both have some huge problem....lol

My car does the same thing. I can never downshift to 1st when going slow, but I can shift when around 10-12mph. It's been like that for the last 2 yrs (since I own the car) and no issues at all.
2000 2.8 v6
Best of luck!

yah nothing is wrong!!!!! most standards are like this... my s4 6 spd and my eclipse 5 spd did this. This is in place to prevent damage to your tranny. also there is no point to drop into first... second will do the job just fine. also same thing is used with reverse when the car is moving forward
